product info NikeClassic Cortez Nylon

Designed by Bill Bowerman in 1972, Nike Cortez was the running shoe pioneer of his time. The idea behind the shoe is as simple as it is ingenious. Bill Bowerman wanted a lightweight, breathable running shoe that was designed to be as comfortable to wear as possible while still maintaining a clean and simple look. The Cortez quickly became the most popular running shoe of its time and never gets boring despite the simple design. The shoe had the real breakthrough after Tom Hanks wore it during his spectacular run in Forrest Gump. 43 years later, we are proud to present you the new edition of the Cortez and thus a true running shoe legend.
